Abstract: To study the non-triterpenoid chemical constituents of the fruits of Akebiae quinata.Fourteen compounds were isolated and purified by various chromatography methods,including macroporous resin HP-20,Sephadex LH-20,silica gel column and RP-18 column.Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods as tyrosol (1),caffeic acid (2),protocatechuic acid (3),p-hydroxybenzoic acid (4),ferulic acid (5),salidroside (6),hydroxytyrosol glucoside (7),trans-coniferin (8),syringin (9),calceolarioside B (10),3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (11),4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (12),5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (13) and 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (14).Among them,compounds 5-10 and 12-14 were isolated from the fruits of Akebiae quinata for the first time.

Key words: Akebiae quinata, chemical constituents, non-triterpenoid compounds, caffeoylquinic acid, structure identification
